789: Chapter 35 Leader (2)_2 789: Chapter 35 Leader (2)_2 Once you reach a high position, you can be composed, but also encounter infinite passivity.
In modern society, power originates from responsibility.
If one wishes for power to endure, they must respect the rule that greater power comes with greater responsibility.
Americans understand this.
In Hollywood’s earlier works like “Spider-Man”, Peter Parker was taught just that.
However, when it comes to many specific things, the American elites show a tendency to evade responsibility.
One can only say, it is typical of an empire in its final days; even if some want to boost morale and act, what about those accustomed to evasion and what they have let slip?
“I noticed you used a term, Chan, you said ‘individual’?”
Sheriff Gru indeed has some competence; he understood Cheng Daqi’s words.
“Yes, Niusen is a core member of the California Clique, but we cannot simply assume his interests align with those of the California Clique, including the relationship between the California Clique and the Democratic Party.
They appear close, yet when it involves specific matters, the entanglements become more complex.”
“For instance, if the Republican Party could take over San Rodolfo, then many businesses there would have no choice but to pay the California Clique.
You know, nowadays these businesses spend more money around Capitol Hill or on individuals like Gasetti.”
“If I were to analyze Niusen’s decision-making process, I believe he would consider seven factors.”
“First, the arrow must be shot once it’s on the bowstring; we’ve just secured a major victory, and the momentum of this victory forces him to make decisions early, which is a psychological disadvantage.”
“Second, that Freemasonry idea of yours is brilliant, Gru; you truly are naturally malevolent.
Any decision he makes about us is influenced by this leverage.”
“Third, it’s about the money I offered.
BEC’s interests are mere money, but I gave too much.
This clear, tangible benefit tempts him to cooperate with us.”
“Fourth, he lost to us, and if we appear mediocre, his defeat becomes very noticeable.
Sometimes making the enemy appear stronger can cover one’s own losses.”
“Fifth, concerning the political interests of the future in San Rodolfo, this is perhaps the most cunning point I designed.
Before you, California Clique’s influence in San Rodolfo was negligible.
The disastrous consequences of the Red Street kidnapping case put significant pressure on Gasetti, so he had to transfer the decision-making power for the LAPD chief position to Niusen, thus your promotion…what’s with that expression, don’t tell me you didn’t see this coming?”
To be honest, Cheng was somewhat tired of stupidity, so he continued to explain while pinching his nose.
“After the turmoil in California ended, the California Clique, having suffered greatly, lost control of LAPD.
You were forced out, and Lake took over; all of this looks like Gasetti’s victory, but that contradicts the interests of both the California Clique and Niusen.”
“The infighting within the Democratic Party has always been intense, huh, probably Wolf would deeply sympathize.
Anyway, the understanding between Niusen and me now is to push Gasetti aside, and let the California Elephant Party and California Clique share San Rodolfo together.
The cost of this cooperation is future payment.
It’s like, Niusen and I have taken out a loan together, with Gasetti as the payer; hence I say it’s the most cunning part.”
“Sixth, personally for Niusen, collaborating with us, I mean, me, Mi’er, Achilles, Wolf, with us young people, would grant him a longer political life on the political stage—rivals are important.
As long as we are still in the game, Niusen also remains irreplaceable.
This inertia can sustain his political life.
Well, this reason might sound far-fetched, but understand, when your rivals are strong enough and you carry enough expectations, you never leave the stage.”
Gru failed to grasp Cheng’s judgment; in fact, the person who could truly represent such figures was Deng Zi.
“Seventh, if Niusen aims for further advancement in the future, then he needs to tackle too much.
The California Clique is already strong enough, and as Nanxi the old witch has controlled the House Democratic Party for many years, no one wishes for another Great Commander from California Clique.
Guess, when he faces internal and external pressures during his candidacy in the future, just as we could covertly transfer some Republican votes to Niusen, would he kneel down and kiss my shoes?”
Riel fell silent; Gru’s entourage was silent; Gru was silent.
They witnessed the vast difference between people born as people.
This top Black Police murmured somewhat bewilderingly.
“So, are there really natural-born leaders?”
“What?”
Cheng Daqi didn’t hear clearly what this guy was blabbering about.
“I mean, this plan or strategy, the fact you could think of seven reasons in his decision-making process, Chan, do all smart people think like you?”
The Black Police asked.
“It’s both yes and no.
Our cooperation with Niusen is far more necessary than you think.
If we can’t reach a certain understanding with him, many things in the future will become tremendously difficult, very, very much so.
Considering different reasons, factors, is also part of my contingency planning in case things don’t go smoothly.
If we can’t reach an understanding with Niusen in a short time, then I will use other methods to convey the reasons that could encourage him to make decisions that are beneficial to us.
It’s just that at the moment, this contingency plan hasn’t been used.”
In his heart, Cheng Daqi was actually prepared from the beginning to not be able to reach an understanding with Niusen, just like he said, even without some understandings, the future path would just be a bit harder to traverse.
But in specific actions, Cheng Daqi still made very sufficient plans.
For example, he came up with so many reasons in advance for Niusen, in order to push him a few times when things weren’t going smoothly.
But Niusen was much smarter than Cheng Daqi expected.
During their first meeting, after a simple exchange, he made a surface recognition of reaching agreement.
It’s just surface recognition.
You must know, Sheriff Gru’s reminder just now was very sincere—Niusen, this old fox, you can only believe a third of what he says, and that’s already stretching it.
However, Cheng Daqi wasn’t too worried that Niusen would cause too much trouble.
The reason goes back to the logic: when a person reaches a certain height, whatever they do is trapped within the scope of overt plans, the specific forms of overt plans may vary immensely, but their ability to act is genuinely limited.
“Chan, I now understand why you are not worried about that 8 billion Dollars debt.”
Sheriff Gru could not imagine anything that could confine this wise man.
“Ha, when did I stop worrying?
Gru, if I really wasn’t worried, where would we be heading now?
To the beach to pick up coconuts?”
Noticing the change in Riel’s expression, Cheng Daqi explained with a mixture of laughter and helplessness.
“Riel, don’t worry, I won’t go bankrupt.
I can’t pay 8 billion, but I can afford your salary for a hundred years.”
“Chan, I didn’t mean that.
I meant, so long as you provide meals, my salary could go down to four…no, five thousand Dollars.”
Four thousand Dollars was the salary set by Eris, Cheng Daqi set Riel’s at ten thousand Dollars.
This guy is also a talent, Cheng Daqi even felt insulted.
Oh Riel, you seem to underestimate me too much!
“Alright, Riel, you’ve done well during this time, your base salary will double from now on!”
Sheriff Gru’s men felt a bit envious, but seeing his boss, Gru, appeared to be deep in thought, he didn’t dare say much.
Well, the current income is already more than I can spend, let’s forget about a raise.
“Chan, you just mentioned something earlier that I’m a bit worried about—how do you and Niusen plan to divide San Rodolfo?
You know, the city council here is probably the most complex in America.
Their average campaign spending even surpasses some state congressmen’s spending, even Crusoe started his career by running for city council.”
Cheng Daqi pointed out the window laughing.
“Do you think this city is beautiful?”
“Well, the sky is too far away to see the garbage on the side of the road, so it looks pretty from here.”
Sheriff Gru was quite frank, giving no face to San Rodolfo.
“Yes, San Rodolfo is a beautiful city, it can even be considered one of the best cities of human civilization, it should let more people experience the civilization and progress here, don’t you think?”
“Are you saying?”
Gru didn’t quite understand Cheng Daqi’s implication.
“In 2019, we need to aim to bring in a hundred thousand people here, let them experience the civilized world of America.”
Cheng Daqi’s smile was radiant.
America, aren’t you the beacon of the world.
You can’t just let your light shine on Americans, the world’s beacon should illuminate the people of the whole world!
